While You Were Sleeping Favorite Movie Ever

While you were sleeping, 1995.
I am Sandra Bullock, feeling alive.
Whenever I am sad, in any way,
I become Lucy Moderatz that day.

Favorite all time movie and so much more,
Eliminates sadness from every pore,
I do not jump on tracks, but see who does.
Stalk him hard as any soul ever was.

Carpenter brother Jack is my hero.
Escaping my cat life, feeling loved so.
People embrace me. A family again.
This movie for me is a total win.

Movie I enjoy, so totally dear.
I probably watch it eight times a year.

Oh I love this movie too Caren. I have watched it dozens of times. I love all the characters...which is rare. But they all contain their own unique joy they bring and I just adore them. Best for a win in the contest. I enjoyed your poem. Happy Holidays my friend! : ) xxoo

Thank you Connie. I think Peter Boyle's Line: "You fell in love with ME?" is my favorite line in the whole movie, although I loved Joey Junior's "leaning" and there were so many other lines that were terrific! The ending always delights me to my toes. Any bad-mood day finds me watching this or Drew Barrymore's Ever-lasting.

I think you should Eve. This one is especially fun, as you are encouraged to write about a favorite movie and change what actually happened.
